Pizza

Pizza is not something that should be taken lightly, in my opinion. There are many different types, some good and some bad. The absolute best pizza is a New York-style pizza. Not like the Pizza Hut NY style, I'm talking true NY style from New York City. Real thin crust, not crispy. The sauce has plenty of basil in it, cheese that runs off the pizza with the grease that is running off your hand. The only way to eat this kind of pizza is by folding it up so you can keep your toppings. That is a little slice of heaven.

I am bringing up pizza because of the lack of good pizza in Ohio. Donato's is the favorite local chain and it is not good pizza; for one thing it is cut into squares even though it is round. The sauce is bad and the cheese worse. The best pizza in town is Manhattan Pizza or Tarantos, but neither is a true NY style. When we lived in NJ there was a great pizza place about 2 miles down the road, that was great. I've been looking for the equivalent here in OH for about 2 years, if anyone has any suggestions let me know. Oddly enough Wilmington, NC had 3 great NY style pizza places; of course almost every one down there is a transplanted Yankee thank goodness.
